Chassis 9

Information supplied by Jean Paul (AKA Jake) Kennedy .Jake's OMS is model SF89A, chassis number 9, registered in 1989. The first owner was the late Peter Green it was then sold to John Lambert In 1998. Guernsey hill climber Andrew Rosamond became the next owner in 2002. The engine is a GPZ RX 1000 bored out to 1042cc.Steve Owen was aware of the car and informed Jake that it had stood around a lot until he(Jake) bought the car in 2010, He entered it as it stood at three events the first being a sprint in Guernsey, "It was raining cats & dogs I didn't have any wets and well a used set of slicks not good for the first time in the car!" But Jake did a but did a pretty respectable time anyway so spurred on he entered the car in the Alderney sprint and hill climb, this is where you can tell time and technology have progressed, as the car has unchanged in the last 21 years putting up against modern cars was always going to be tough and it was!!. So Jake decided that the engine and aerodynamics were too old to compete in this class. The car was brought back into the workshop and plans formed to fit a 600cc engine and other advances including new wings for the car.The car is currently stripped back to bare metal as Jake found rust under the powder coating. He's got photos of the car in the different stages and is looking at doing a rebuild blog at some point, hopefully on Uphill Racers!

Update October 2017 Chassis has now passed into the ownership of Paul Batey Paul acquired the car as a dismantled box of bits from Dermot Healy and it is currently undergoing a restoration and upgrade to run as a good, strong, 'fun' car for hills and sprints. Many parts are missing so Paul asks that if anyone has pictures or experience of the car please get in touch. His e mail address is bateyp1(at)gmail.comHere's a picture of the chassis in it's current state of restoration - looking very tidy Paul!

Chassis 24 (SF1B)

Information supplied by Trevor HartlandThis car was originally built for Mark Lawrence who had a number of notable wins with it. Trevor purchased the car in 1999 from Damon Milne who had updated the bodywork and diffuser to later specification, hence the '1B' designation. The car was running a Kawasaki ZZR 1100 motor and Trevor used it in the Welsh and ASWMC speed championships, notching up a good number of class wins and also an FTD. He sold the car in 2004 to Chris Perry who continued to compete in the ASWMC championship, but with a Yamaha R1 engine fitted in around 2007.

Chassis 51 (SF2A)

Information supplied by Simon BoulterAs far as Simon is aware chassis number 51 was purchased and built by Glyn Ridge of Essex in 1997. In 2001 it was sold to Frank & Ian Catt who have run the car in the Tunbridge Wells All Circuit Sprint Championship very succesfully for the last 12 years winning many FTDs and series wins along the way until August of this year 2013 when Simon purchased the car. He hit the track running and immediately picked up 2 class wins and a FTD!!

Chassis 63

Information supplied by Steve MarrThe car was built in 1998 by Steve Owen (OMS) for a Celebrity Challenge circuit series – dual driven by Steve and invited celebs. The SF2 appears to be a slightly uprated/strengthened SF model – it has the high chassis side tubes, larger uprights and bigger side-pods to fit the larger radiator and oil cooler (no longer fitted). This chassis also has dual rear wishbone mounting points and extra stiffening gussets fitted around the rear chassis and the front bulkhead area. Originally fitted with a small F3 style dual element rear wing assembly.

The next owner was Robert Wood (dates unknown), then David Banner who had it from early 2002 until the end of 2004 season, using it for sprints and hill climbs in England. (Dave replaced it with another OMS – a 2000M, still fitted with a highly tuned ZZR1100 engine). Robbie Garden was the next owner, using the car in the Scottish Sprint and Hillclimb championships in 05 and 06 (finished 3rd overall if I remember correctly). He bought it complete with a newly built ZZR1100 engine from Extreme Engines. It was then bought by me at the end of 2006. I campaigned it in the Scottish Sprint and Hillclimb Championships (but mainly hill climbs) from 07 through to the end of 2010Dates: 2002 - Dave Banner 2005 - Robbie garden 2006 - Steve Marr 2011 - Adam Bugeja (Malta)See the Register Gallery for more pics

Chassis 65 David Baker

David Baker in striking pink!

Information supplied by George Richardson

Steve Owen at OMS racing built the car in 1998 to special order.

The chassis of this car is slightly wider than normal to accommodate larger drivers and is uprated to race spec with higher chassis side tubes, larger uprights, larger side-pods to accommodate the radiator, oil cooler, plumbed in fire extinguisher and was powered by a standard Kawasaki ZZR 1000cc engine, clutch and gearbox.

The original purchaser / owner of the car was David Baker from Linlithgow and he used the car to compete in hill climbs at Doune, Fintray and Forrestburn in Scotland during 1998, 1999 and 2000 taking several class wins and on occasions 3rd FTD.

When purchased by David he painted the car a rather fetching shade of Pink / Burgundy. Which is believed to be relative to a company / sponsor at that time.

Chassis 65 George Richardson

Current owner george Richardson on board

In 2002 David sold the car to Phil Burton from Wigan who used the car to compete in sprints at venues such as Aintree, Mira and Angelsey, results unknown.

Phil changed the colour of the car from that above to Honda S2000 Red, which it remains today. In 2004 Phil purchased a 2nd Kawasaki engine, clutch and gearbox from West Coast Salvage, which was rebuilt and dyno run by Powertech. The engine is mostly standard but is now 1095cc, fitted with Keihin FCR carbs, four two one exhaust manifold, comp spec exhaust system, uprated clutch and original Cosworth diff.

In June 2009 George Richardson purchased the car and returned it to Scotland where he now uses it once again to compete in hill climbs at Doune, Fintray and Forrestburn. Unfortunately the car only manages a handful of events each year due to work commitments. The only changes that have subsequently been made by George to date are revisions to the final drive gearing and wiring to suit Scottish hills.
